Pc70 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 As others have said Tripp mags are great. I use them in Limited 10 in my 1911 and only had one hiccup that was remedied by calling Tripp. I also have used Wilson, Mc Cormick, Mec-Gar and others. The best mags are the ones that run in your gun. I have some mags in a drawer that I wouldn't compete with but they are fine for plinking. As always YMMV.

The two guns (Wilson and Nighthawk) that I have used them with have a tendency to cause the slide to lock-back during firing. The mag springs seem weak when compared to other springs.

The mag springs seem weak when compared to other springs.I don't think the mags will cause lock back during firing. I think it's a random occurrence of the slide stop wiggling. Regarding springs... You should replace them every so often I think...Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Locking back on non-empty mags can depend on your loads. A long-loaded blunt profile bullet can bump the inside lug on the slide stop as the stack feeds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk But if it stops happening completely when you change mad brands, it's pretty safe to assume something in the magazine (out if spec follower or slide stop?) was the issue. I'm not one who thinks any 1911 should be magazine specific. If it is, there's something that needs fixing, and I fix it. Of course magazine follower could be what needs "fixing", and sometimes it's easier to just buy mags that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise load to 1.160 and no problems. I only use Tripp mags since they came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcin Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tripp System mags in 10mm run flawlessly in my Trojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheers623 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 One more vote for Wilson 10mm mags. Mine run great in my Trojan loaded at 1.185” COAL. Best part is that when the mags start sticking or get dented, I send them in and Wilson repairs or replaces them for free. Lifetime no BS warranty!

dohboy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I've had good luck with both the Wilson 10mm and Tripp 10mm mags. Depending on the bullet weight, my OAL varies between 1.180 and 1.200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictalent Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Congratulations on the new gun. I have a max in 40. I use both 10 mm 10 rounds and 40 9 rounds. Both work well. 10 mm no good for IPSC with MAX due to it has a tall front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10 round 10mm Tripp magazines that sit flush with the magwell. I ask because I'm doing an IPSC match next month and I also have a Max in 40.

Magictalent Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It will not fit the box. First the original magwell is not legal in IPSC. Need to change. Second, the mag will stick out 2 mm. Max has a higher front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
